“I really work at a part to do it to the best of my ability. And I'm studying acting as well as keeping up with my singing and dancing lessons.”

“One day Dad was driving in to New York to appear on a telethon. I hid in the back seat until he had gone too far to turn back. I pleaded with him to let me appear on the telethon with him. He finally agreed. Richard Rodgers happened to be watching the telecast, and he called Dad afterwards with the offer of a job for me.”

“I never wanted to do anything but get into show biz. But believe me, success didn't come overnight. And I shed a lot of tears - like in school, when all the other kids in class made fun of me. They just hated me because I could sing and dance.”

“I was a little bit wary of playing Nicholas. In the script, which I think is true of the novel and the film, he's the only character not singing and dancing in a musical style. Playing someone who is the personification of good is a little difficult.”

“West Side Story was terribly important because of the style of the dancing and the gangs of New York.”

“I came out the womb dancing.”
